The Order of Christian Initiation (O.C.I.A.) - formally called the Rite of Christian Initiation (R.C.I.A.) - is the process through which interested adults are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life. They are educated in the theological lessons necessary to allow them to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.

The children’s O.C.I.A. program brings the Good News of Jesus to children age 11 and above and prepares them for the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil. This is open to children from different faiths who wish to become Catholic or for those who have been delayed in receiving the first sacraments.
